So, I have a new experience with my ROG Swift. It started turning on at random again
Some of you may remember my horrendous RMA experience last time this happened. I'm actually pretty lucky that I seem to have a perfect example of the swift with no dead pixels, no backlight bleed, and no grain issues so I'm very anti having the monitor swapped unless I must. When I explained this last time I got sent new monitors three times on the trot and in total it took 3 months to get a new PSU. When one did finally arrive as a final insult they sent it with a kettle lead instead of the needed clover cable (luckily I had a spare) so it was just a rubbish service all round.
Unfortunately 8 months later the problem has started again (a very similar length of time as it took with the first PSU) which pretty much proves these power supplies are simply rubbish quality and get worse as they age. I've submitted another RMA and in this case I've received a new power supply, in 3 days, on the first attempt! I'm actually gobsmacked. This proves that they are capable of providing decent service when they actually try but it would seem they swing from the utterly terrible to the as good as it can get!
Depressingly the PSU has the same part number as the last one so I imagine I'll have this problem again in the future
But fingers crossed this one is a good one!
